Tom Hanson: Got this gut feeling that ...

Some things are bubbling up in my stomach after hearing Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff say he has a "gut feeling" about a terrorist attack on the United States.

And unlike President Bush's spokesman Tony Snow, I'm OK with making a few gastrointestinal descriptions.

So grab some Tums and plop a few Alka-Seltzers. Here we go:

I've got a gut feeling that Mike Fulker, who hasn't raised a single penny in his run for Bonita Springs mayor, will finish a distant third to Ben Nelson and Jay Arend.

I've got a gut feeling that Buffalo Chips restaurant owner Al Greenwood, who donated $500 to both Arend's and Nelson's campaigns, can't decide who will make the best next mayor of Bonita Springs.

I've got a fried-green-tomatoes gut feeling that the Dixie Moon Café will soon be serving up their great food at a second location in Collier County.

I've got a gut feeling that the Taxpayer Action Group will still complain about the Bonita Springs Fire District's spending even after new chief Phil Kinsey cut $500,000 from the budget.

I've got a gut feeling that the Bonita Springs firefighters will blame a rash of obesity on the new fitness equipment being eliminated from the budget.

I've got a gut feeling that Thursday night's John-reverse or should I say Juan-reverse sting by Lee County sheriff's deputies on Old 41 Road in Bonita Springs is not the last.

I've got a gut feeling that at least one of those eight Hispanics arrested on Thursday night said, "How was I to know, prostitution is legal in my country."

I've got a gut feeling that someone will post a snide remark about illegal immigrants at the bottom of the online version of this column even if I don't make any more remarks about illegal immigrants.

I've got a gut feeling that the next president of Florida Gulf Coast University will not be picked up on solicitation charges or have an affair with a faculty member.

I've got a gut feeling that the next president of FGCU will not come out of the first 23 applicants.

I've got a gut feeling that after the Title IX fiasco and complaints that he has a "good ‘ol boy" mentality, FGCU athletic director Carl McAloose will hire a female coach in the next year.

I've got a gut feeling that FGCU coaches will never again say a recruit has a "hot mom" — out loud.

I've got a gut feeling that FGCU soccer, the newest sport at the university, will not draw large crowds.

I've got a gut feeling that if they recruited enough players with hot moms FGCU soccer would draw a large crowd of FGCU coaches.

I've got a gut feeling that Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott, who doesn't have an opponent yet in the next election, will be around for another four years.

I've got a gut feeling that Scott's celebration will not include deputy-on-deputy lap dances at a local Beef O' Bradys.

I've got a gut feeling that Lee County Commissioner Tammy Hall will give fellow Commissioner Brian Bigelow dirty looks following a long-winded dissertation at the next commission meeting.

I've got a gut feeling Hall and Bigelow will never date.

I've got a gut feeling that Rudy Giuliani will carry Florida despite conservatives having reservations about his not-so-Republican personal baggage.

I've got a gut feeling that Hillary Clinton will get the nod from her party despite her oh-so-Democratic personal baggage, AKA her husband, Bill.

I've got a gut feeling that a hurricane will not directly hit Southwest Florida.

I've got a gut feeling that people will rush to the local hardware stores, purchase supplies and not think twice about hiring an illegal immigrant to board up their home the minute the next named storm pops into the Caribbean.

I've got a gut feeling that we will not have a terrorist attack on Bonita Springs this summer.

I've got a gut feeling that I will receive threats about this column. 
